I. 1. Doctor Francis Joseph Pfeiffer, a native of Ger- 
many, was born May, 1734.* Volume XVII of the " Penn- 
sylvania Archives," Second Series, page 375, contains the 
following reference to his arrival in America : 

" List of foreigners imported in the Ship Phoenix, Capt. 
Reuben Honer, from Rotterdam, last from Cowes, England. 
Qualified Nov. 22, 1752." 

The name of " Frantz Joseph Pfeiffer" appears in the 
list of passengers. 

Concerning Dr. Pfeiffer's marriage there are contradic- 
tory statements. His Bible, in possession of Miss Mary 
Matilda Bryant, of Philadelphia, a great-granddaughter, 
contains a record written in German, and which, translated, 
is as follows : 

" The 25th March, 1756, Anna Margaretha Beckerin was 
given to me in marriage." 

According to this, which seems conclusive, the name of 
his wife was Ann or Anna Margaret Becker. We find, how- 
ever, in the list of marriages published in the " Pennsyl- 
vania Archives," Second Series, Volume VIII, page 483, 
among those celebrated at the Old Swedes' Church, Phil- 
adelphia, the following : 

* Epitapb. 



6 DK. FRANCIS JOSEPH PFEIFFER 

" 1756, March 25, PfeifFer, Francis Joseph, and Marga- 
rete Wallter." 

An examination of the original records of the church 



to' 



produced the following : 

"Mar. 25, 1756, marriage of Francis Joseph Pfeiffer and 
Margarete "Wallter, by publishing ye 25th of March, 1756." 

The ceremony was performed by the rector, the liev. Olof 
Parlin. 

The name given in his Bible has been adopted. 

The first reference found, styling him a physician, is in 
the Recorder of Deeds' ofiice, Philadelphia, Book I, jSTo. 16, 
page 242. Conveyance by Charles West, of Philadelphia, 
Cooper, and Hannah his wife, to Joseph PfeifFer, of Flour 
Town, in the County of Philadelphia, " Practitioner in 
Physick," Nov. 28, 1763. 

Volume II of the " Pennsylvania Archives," Second Se- 
ries, page 447, contains the following reference to his nat- 
uralization : 

''At a Supreme Court held at Philadelphia, before Law- 
rence Growdon and William Coleman, Esquires, Judges of 
the said Court, the twenty fourth day of September in the 
Year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and sixty- 
three, between the Hours of nine and twelve of the clock in 
the forenoon of the same day, the following subscribing per- 
sons being foreigners :" continuing on page 450, 

" The persons hereafter named, being Foreigners, and of 
the People called Quakers, and other Protestants^ who con- 
scientiously scruple to take an Oath, Severally took the 
Afiirmations & made the Declaration according to the Di- 
rections of an Act of the thirteenth Year of King George 
the Second, entitled ' an Act for naturalizing such foreign 
Protestants and others therein mentioned as are settled or 
shall settle in any of his majesty's Colonies in America,' 
and of an Act of General Assembly of the Province of 
Pennsylvania, made in the Year of our Lord one thousand 
seven hundred and forty-two :"

After the conveyance, two lots were purchased in South 
Laurel Hill Cemetery, Section 2, Nos. 195 and 196,* which 
were conveyed to the said Loughead and Fitler, as trustees, 
for the use of the descendants of Dr. Pfeiffer. Since their 
death, no successors have been appointed. 

January 23, 1851, the remains of Dr. Pfeiffer and other 
members of his family were removed from the private 
burial-ground to the new lots in South Laurel Hill Ceme- 
tery, where they at present repose. 

His wife died August 30, 1817, and was buried in her 
husband's burial-ground, the following being her epitaph : 

Ann Margaret Pfeiffer, 

Kelict of Dr. J. Pfeiffer, 

departed this life August 30th 1817, 

in the 90th year of her age. 

" Lord, what is my hope ; truly my hope is even in thee." 

PsAL. xxxix. 7. 

Her remains were removed at the same time as her hus- 
band's to the present lot in South Laurel Hill Cemetery. 

There are two miniatures of Dr. Pfeiffer, one in posses- 
sion of Mrs. James Moore Bryant, of Philadelphia, and the 
other in possession of Mr. Edgar Isaiah Smith, of Philadel- 
phia. The writer had two oil portraits copied from these, 
one for the late Mayor Fitler and the other for himself. 
The frontispiece is reproduced from the miniature in pos- 
session of Mrs. Bryant. 

The children of Dr. Pfeiffer and Margaret his wife, as 
ascertained from his Bible and will, were as follows : 

2. Margaret. 

3. Elizabeth.

" Fiedler, Johan Jacob, son of Johan Georg Fiedler and 
Anna Elisabeth, born Mar. 15, 1754, baptised Mar. 31,

The following refers to the arrival of Jacob Fitler's father 
in this country : §

The same paper of Sep. 17. 1822, contained the follow- 
ing obituary : 

" Died, on Saturday, the 14**" inst., Jacob Fitler, Esq., 
in the 70"^ year of his age, after a long and severe illness. 

The deceased was much respected and esteemed by his 
acquaintances, and much beloved by his family. The gen- 
eral opinion entertained of his integrity secured his election 
to the office of Sheriff of the City and County of Philadel- 
phia ; in the discharge of the duties of that office, it is be- 
lieved, he caught the disease which carried him to his 
grave."

Charles S. Russell was offered a commission of major by 
President Lincoln in 1861, but, not having been long at 
West Point, he felt he had not sufficient experience to ac- 
cept this offer. Afterwards, Caleb B. Smith, a cabinet offi- 
cer, sent a captain's commission, which was accepted, in 
the Eleventh U. S. Infantry. His first station was at Fort 
Independence, Boston Harbor; from there he joined the 
Army of the Potomac, one of the first to enter Richmond, 
Va., and raised the Colored Twenty-eighth Indiana Regi- 
ment. His first fight was in front of Petersburg, Va. He 
was commissioned colonel by Governor Morton, of Indiana. 
After the close of the war he was ordered to Corpus Christi, 
Texas, with General Whitzel, of Ohio, where he remained 
one year. From here he was ordered to Indiana to muster 
out his colored regiment. From there he rejoined his old 
regiment — Eleventh U. S. Infantry — at Richmond, Va. 
While there the cholera broke out, and he lost a great 
many men. He was very attentive to the sick, and in rec- 
ognition of this the new quarters were called " Camp Rus- 
sell." He died at Cincinnati of cholera. 

He was brevetted major, lieutenant-colonel, colonel, and 
brigadier-general for meritorious services.

AND HIS DESCENDANTS. 25 

"A YOUTHFUL LIVINGSTONE. 

DIED OF JUNGLE FEVER IN THE WILDERNESS OF COLOMBIA. 

The readers of this and other newspapers will recall with 
pleasure a series of travel sketches written from the wilder- 
ness of British Guiana and Venezuela and published over 
the name of G. Frederic Russell. They will recall with a 
smile his picturesque account of tlie swizzlers and the swiz- 
zers of Georgetown. They will remember the story of his 
difficult and dangerous voyage up the river Portaro to the 
gold mines in the rank jungles of Guiana, and the story of 
his journey along the Schomburgk line into the fever- 
haunted swamps of the Orinoco. 

One of his letters told how deadly the fever had been in 
the wilderness of Colombia, where he was then staying, 
and how the only American there beside himself had died 
on the day of his arrival. It remains for this brief chroni- 
cle to tell why his pen has been laid aside forever. He 
had recovered from one attack of fever and was on his way 
to new fields of discovery when he was prostrated again 
with that deadly scourge of the tropics. He died at Turbo, 
on the river Atrato, on January 11 of the present year. 
He was on a river steamer in an effort to make the nearest 
consulate, where he might find purer air. He died in his 
state-room, attended only by a native, as nearly as can be 
ascertained by the meagre reports that have come, the second 
night after going aboard. He knew that death was coming, 
and gave directions regarding the disposition of his effects 
and met his fate with the brave spirit of a hero. 

He was born at Indianapolis, Indiana, December 10, 1874, 
and was therefore only twenty-two years old. He was pre- 
paring for college, when, at seventeen, he had to abandon 
his studies to take up the more serious work of life. He 
began work in Philadelphia as a reporter on the Public 
Ledger, and afterwards on the Philadelphia Press, and 
finally became connected with the North American. 

He had a decided leaning towards literature, working 
with astonishing patience and good success at stories and 



26 DR. FRANCIS JOSEPH PFEIFFER 

Bketches of life. His tales had both style and promise, and 
considering the fact that all of his work had been done in 
four years his career was remarkable. He went south as 
correspondent for the Bacheller Syndicate and met the fate 
of most Americans who venture into the tropical reaches 
of Colombia." 

The following explains itself: 

"Turbo, Gctlf of Darikn, 
Colombia, 

October 25, 1897. 

Hon. Clifford Smyth, 

American Consul, 

Carthagena. 
Sir: 

I have the honor to report that, in compliance with 
your request, I have visited the burial place of the late Mr. 
Frederic Russell, in the cemetery at Turbo. 

Mr. Russell's grave is in the village cemetery, about a 
quarter of a mile from the main street. It lies in what is, 
perhaps, the place of honor in the cemetery, and is marked 
by a plain wooden cross, the cross-piece of which is bound 
to the shaft by a strong tendril cut from a near-by vine. 
The cross was apparently cut from a small green tree, and 
the bark was left on. The wood has now dried, and it will, 
I think, last for several years. 

By some strange coincidence, which one might almost 
regard as an intelligent sympathy in nature, a slender, 
clinging vine has sprung from the earth at the foot of the 
cross, and has twined itself about the shaft in regulated 
spirals until its top waves a few inches above the top of the 
cross. A bud is growing on the vine near the arm of the 
cross, and probably it will blossom in due time. The un- 
conscious sympathy of this little vine, in this quiet, tropical 
forest, in a far-away land, affected me more than I can put 
into words, especially as I had known and esteemed Mr. 
Russell in life. The influence of the little vine was per- 
haps more marked by reason of the fact that no other grave 
in the cemetery had this token of remembrance. 

There are several other graves in line with Mr. Russell's, 



AND HIS DESCENDANTS. 27 

and althougla they are the resting places of persons whose 
relatives live in the village, yet they are no better marked 
or cared for than his. 

Mr. Russell's grave lies underneath the branches of one of 
the grandest forest trees that I have ever seen. There are 
other trees reaching out their branches above the grave, and 
although they are by no means small, yet they are dwarfed 
into nothingness by this giant of the forest. 

The cemetery is in a forest of great natural beauty. My 
partner attempted a sketch of the grave, and if anything 
can be made from it he will be glad to forward it to the 
family on our return. 

In Quibdo I shall doubtless obtain details of Mr. Russell's 
illness, and on my return in December I shall be pleased to 
place at your disposal all that I have been able to learn. 

Inclosed are three leaves which I picked from the little 
vine of the cross with the idea that you might wish to for- 
ward them to the family. 

I am, Sir, 

Yours sincerely, 

Wm. Willard Howard."

The prominence achieved by Edwin Henry Fitler by rea- 
son of his selection as the first mayor under the operations 
of the Act of Assembly of June 1, 1885, commonly known 
as the Bullitt Charter, only emphasized his excellent stand- 
ing as a citizen and the high position which he occupied in 
the community. Born in this city December 2, 1825, he 
received an academic education, and, proposing to devote 
himself to the practice of law, he began the study of the 
rudiments of that profession in the office of Charles E. Lex, 
and also studied conveyancing with his brother, Alfred Fit- 
ler. His father, William Fitler, was a prominent and suc- 
cessful tanner and leather dealer at Second and Walnut 
Streets, where the old Fitler mansion still stands, although 
it is no longer occupied or used by the family. 

The bent of Edwin's mind was in the direction of me- 
chanics, and after four years' study of legal lore he decided 
to abandon the profession and follow his natural inclination. 
The knowledge of law acquired in his early youth proved, 
however, of great advantage, and contributed largely to his 
success. During his nearly fifty years' career as a manu- 
facturer and business man he never was involved in litiga- 
tion of any kind. After laying aside his text-books he 
entered the cordage house of George J. Weaver, at Ger- 
mantown Avenue and Tenth Street, and in two years he 
had mastered the details of the trade and was admitted to 
partnership, the firm being thereafter known as George J. 
Weaver & Co. 

Under Mr. Fitler's management labor-saving machinery 
was introduced, many of the improvements being of his 
own conception. These inventions he never patented, but 
gave them freely to the public. In 1859 he purchased the 
interest of his partner, and the firm-name became Edwin 
H. Fitler & Co. At the time of his death the firm consisted 
of himself and his two sons, Edwin H. Fitler, Jr., and W.

W. Filler, and it is known all over the world as one of the 
most flourishing and solid concerns in existence. In 1880 
the establishment became too cramped for its extensive op- 
erations, and it was removed to Bridesburg, where the 
present works cover fifteen acres of ground, and they are 
fitted with the highest type of modern machinery. The 
product is the largest of any cordage factory in the United 
States. During his entire career Mr. Filler's relations with 
his employees were of the most cordial character. Many 
of the workmen have served the firm for twenty years and 
upward, and such a thing as a strike has never been 
known at the Filler Cordage "Works. The esteem in which 
Mr. Filler was held by his colleagues in the trade is evi- 
denced by his repeated elections as president of the Amer- 
ican Cordage Manufacturers' Association. 

At the outbreak of the war of the rebellion Mr. Filler 
threw the whole weight of his influence in favor of the 
Union, and his money, lime, and counsel were freely given 
to the government. Many of his employees enlisted in the 
Federal army, and no company left the city belter equipped 
for the duties of the field than that which was organized at 
his works, a matter that he personally attended to. His 
prominent position in the Union League brought him into 
the political arena, where he was always foremost in advo- 
cating Republican principles and in favoring the selection 
of competent men for office. He was frequently mentioned 
in connection with public office, and his friends at one time 
endeavored to persuade him to become a candidate for 
United Slates senator, and again for governor of Pennsyl- 
vania. He resisted all such efforts, however, to induce him 
to seek the suffrages of his fellow-citizens until the time 
arrived for the selection of the man who, as mayor of the 
city, was to carry into eflfect the radical governmental fea- 
tures contained in the new city charier which went into 
operation on the first Monday in April, 1887. 

There were no precedents to be followed. The new mayor 
was obliged to formulate and lay out a course of action for 
the guidance of his successors ; hence it was that the nomi-

nee of the Republican party for the exalted office must be 
a man of wide experience and business sagacity, who had 
the confidence of the community. The party leaders in 
conference with representatives of the business interests, 
including the leading members of the once powerful and 
influential Committee of One Hundred, selected Edwin 
H. Fitler, and his nomination and election followed. His 
majority was nearly thirty thousand, which was at that time 
the largest ever received by a candidate for mayor. During 
his administration many reforms were instituted and many 
improvements were made in all branches of the city gov- 
ernment, as well as in the physical features of the munici- 
pality. The mayor rigidly adhered to his own ideas and 
his own policies, regardless of political or other pressure, and 
the lines laid down by his administration have been for the 
most part followed by those who came after him in the office. 

After his retirement from the mayoralty, in 1891, Mr. 
Fitler devoted himself to his business and lived the life of 
a quiet and unostentatious gentleman. In 1888, while he 
was mayor, his name was presented by Charles Emory 
Smith in the Republican National Convention at Chicago 
for the nomination for the Presidency, and he received 
twenty-two votes for that honor, including those of the solid 
delegation from this city. 

Mr. Fitler was a director of the National Bank of the 
Northern Liberties, and has been vice-president and presi- 
dent of the Union League. In 1875-76 he was a member 
of the Centennial Board of Finance, and did his full share 
of the work which made the great exposition a success and 
a credit to the city of Philadelphia, He was noted for his 
hospitality and his many engaging social and congenial 
qualities.

" ' In the midst of life we are in death.' 

On the 6th. inst. aged 35 years, of the Dysentery, at his 
dwelling in the Northern Liberties, Doctor George Pfeiffer, 
a young man of the most eminent talents in his profession, 
and an ornament to society — he was a kind and affectionate 
husband, a tender and indulgent father, a man of strict in- 
tegrity and humanity, and amply blessed with all the social 
virtues. He has left a disconsolate widow and five children 
to lament their irreparable loss, and mourn the severe tho' 
just dispensation of Divine Providence, in taking away 
their protector, in the bloom of health, and in the prime of 
life. He was universally respected b}" all who had the 
pleasure of his acquaintance, and will long, very long be 
kindly remembered by them."

and Daily Advertiser, Aug. 10, 1804." Rush Library, Phila.
